Abstract

Geographic information systems (GIS) and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have transformed emergencies and disasters response across the world. These technologies are enabling emergency management agencies to carry out their duty efficiently. However, current GNSS-based tracking systems have serious technical flaws and vulnerabilities. This paper presents a modular system-level description for a hybrid tracking system. The paper further discusses and suggests how the technical vulnerabilities of GNSS-based tracking systems can be resolve.
